How Illegal Immigration Finally Turned Off the Public

"Pope Francis will go on ABC 20/20 and grant a virtual audience to poor Americans via satellite this Friday night. One of the pope’s groups will be Hispanic migrants in a South Texas church. They’re the only Texans who won’t be at a stadium worshipping high school football during the telecast."  Comedian Argus Hamilton

Victor Davis Hanson: How Illegal Immigration Finally Turned Off the Public                                "If there were not a Donald Trump, he would likely have had to have been invented." 

"Why did the illegal-immigration issue launch Donald Trump’s campaign? Why did his recent tense press conference exchange with Univision’s Jorge Ramos please even some of Trump’s liberal critics? What is it about illegal immigration that has finally turned off so many Americans?"

. . . 
" It is alleged that Donald Trump is a demagogue who whips the ignorant up. Perhaps. But on matters of immigration he came late and often in antithesis to his own former positions. The truth is that the illegal-immigration lobby was its own worst enemy, its message couched in racism, illegality, untruth — and finally incoherence.  People tired of being called racists by racial chauvinists, of being dubbed insensitive by unfeeling opportunists, and of being called politically naive by political manipulators."
